Will stock 997 seats fit in 993
#2
A major dealership here in Atlanta told me there are fundamental differences in the mounting of 993 and 997 seats. That's not to say that they couldn't be adapted, but it would require a custom approach.
I haven't looked into it any further than that.

When I inquired earlier, Viper Bob posted that the mounts are the same as the 996 seats, so an easy fit into 993s.
srm, I'm not sure what's worse, asking a dealer this sort of question, or believing what they tell you.
If I were doing it, I'd replace the airbags with foam, though. Also, you want to look for the manual 997/987 seats unless you're really good at wiring.

Many people have claimed that 996 GT3 shell seats wouldn't fit into a 993, and I proved that assertion to be false. The 996 GT3 seats drop right into a 993, albeit a little too high for me. As RallyJon says, I'm not sure I'd be inclined to believe a dealer.

Erroneous info usually comes from a Service Writer (i.e. sales guy) who never touches a car, sometimes based on info from a 23 year old tech fresh out of factory training (maybe) where he learned all about plugging a PS2 into a 997. Could you imagine taking your 356 to a modern stealership?
